The Fliz is sometimes called the Flintstones bike. I get the idea, but those straps look like they would change your voice a few levels higher. Or, as one of the Yahoo commenters said, "give a hipster a bike, he'll make a crazy shoulder mounted, less efficient, walking bike that squeezes your junk...."
